It comes with the duty of managing a country, to look after the population's wellbeing and to help the disadvantaged in order to maintain a certain standard of living nationwide.

They are the ones capable to raise funds more easily through the use of taxes, as compared to voluntary donations, as seen from the news articles on the left. ]]> 2016-06-12 08:55:37 UTC https://padlet.com/aisyahlovey/srgpmindmap/wish/114404056 No, it is a shared responsibility to take care of the needs of the disadvantaged. Members of the public and NGOs also have a part to play.  https://padlet.com/aisyahlovey/srgpmindmap/wish/114404519 Members of the public:
1. Paying it forward. Everyone has sure received some form of help previously, and it becomes a moral obligation to do the same for others who require help.
2. Acts of kindness and gratitude. Giving back to society; this can be done in the form of doing community service and volunteering, such as collecting cans of food and donating them to a food bank.

NGOs:
1. Organisations can better raise funds and build appropriate facilities for the disadvantaged as compared to a single member of the public. Additionally, these NGOs ease the government's burden of taking care of the needs of the disadvantaged. This is because the government also has to manage other aspects of the country's management and development such as sustaining the affordability of public good and ensuring the country;s economic growth. ]]> 2016-06-12 09:18:38 UTC https://padlet.com/aisyahlovey/srgpmindmap/wish/114404519 BRAINSTORMING: https://padlet.com/aisyahlovey/srgpmindmap/wish/114404767 2016-06-12 09:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aisyahlovey/srgpmindmap/wish/114404767 5W1H: https://padlet.com/aisyahlovey/srgpmindmap/wish/114404783 2016-06-12 09:31:34 UTC https://padlet.com/aisyahlovey/srgpmindmap/wish/114404783 When do the needs of the disadvantaged become the responsibility that others have to undertake?  https://padlet.com/aisyahlovey/srgpmindmap/wish/114404856 - when government intervention is proven not sufficient in supporting the needs of the disadvantaged.]]> 2016-06-12 09:33:26 UTC https://padlet.com/aisyahlovey/srgpmindmap/wish/114404856 Levels:  https://padlet.com/aisyahlovey/srgpmindmap/wish/114404939 1.
